The owner is incredibly friendly, and chatting with him was definitely the highlight of my evening—along with the pizza, of course. I plan to return to sample more dishes, as I've been searching for my favorite taco spot in Queens for months.

One included a bowl of vegetable soup, accompanied by a platter of fried liver and onions with a salad of red beets, carrots, and mayo, served alongside white rice and sweet plantains. The other order featured a bowl of traditional Colombian bean chowder with pig feet and chorizo, along with a platter of ribeye steak prepared in a criollo style, also served with white rice, sweet plantains, and a red salad. We both chose agua panela con limón, a brown sugar lemonade—one served cold and the other hot like tea. The flavors were traditional and satisfying, especially the large red beans. I will definitely be returning; the food was delicious, plentiful, and the ambiance was cheerful. We had a great time! Additionally, Roberto, the owner of PASUMADRE.COM hot sauces, has set up his homemade hot sauce business there. We got to sample some, bought a bottle, and even received a free flavor to try! Check out his website—I’m eager to try the fried chicken with his sauces. The pineapple flavor was especially amazing!
